Regional Dialogue on Carbon Pricing (REdiCAP) in Central Asia

The Regional Dialogue on Carbon Pricing (REdiCAP) was organized for the five Central Asia countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) on 25-26 February 2021. This Central Asia REdiCAP followed five successful regional dialogues on carbon pricing organized last year. For the Central Asia REdiCAP, representatives came together for two days of dialogue to discuss the challenges and opportunities relating to carbon pricing in their countries and how regional collaboration can support their climate mitigation efforts. The dialogue was co-organized by UNFCCC Secretariat, RCC Bangkok, ESCAP, UNDP, UNEP and ADB. The Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) was engaged by ESCAP to support the REdiCAP as a technical partner, with funding from the Russian Federation.

A report from REdiCAP Central Asia, including a preliminary roadmap of activities to advance carbon pricing, is now being prepared and will be published in due time.
